Thank you Purg! I've been reading up on your thread. I didn't have reception up in the mountains so I need to catch up on it and see how you and your little one's are doing.
I'm back The trip went really well. It wasn't as sad as I thought. I enjoyed being around healthy couples and all our kids enjoying themselves. I felt pretty proud of myself as I drove home. "I did it!"
He was planning on coming over after his bootcamp class, 8pm and I did DB at work! I asked him if he could get a sub so he could come and see the kids. S3 really missed him. He sounded reluctant, as always and said, "uh ok, it's kinda late for me to find a sub." I said, "I wouldn't ask you unless I think it's important." Before I wouldn't have asked him and held in the resentment or I would've asked him and been angry with him about his response. He responded, "I'm not as committed to the gym. not like before. I don't mind you asking, I just need to find a sub" WHOA!!!! He pulled another 180 on me!! My head is spinning!!!
He came over in a really good mood and told me something funny that happened to him today and he took the kids to his moms cuz they're having a gathering.
Before he came over, a part of me was hoping he'd invite me, but I had to catch myself and remind myself, NO EXPECTATIONS!!!
Tomorrow we have our 4th coparenting session
